Chandra Contest

Jon HickeyFriday, June 28, 2013

his summer, you could win a trip to the PAX of your choice in 2014. How, you ask? Audition to become a Planeswalker by submitting a photo at igniteyoursparkcontest.com!

As you might know, Magic 2014—Duels of the Planeswalkers launched this week. Launching a game title on five platforms at once is seriously hard work. It also takes a surprising amount of incineration, combustion, and a general need for burning things. In other words, Chandra's work schedule is completely full. Wizards of the Coast has started interviewing stand-in Planeswalkers to take care of minor tasks such as photo shoots, publicity appearances, autographs, and feeding the office basilisk. This is where you come in. Enter a photo of you auditioning to be a Planeswalker, and you could win a sweet prize!

Submissions (one entry per person) received from June 28, 2013, through September 9, 2013, are eligible to participate. The grand-prize winner chozen by Wizards will receive a trip for two to the PAX of his or her choice in 2014. The grand-prize winner will also select a WPN store of his or her choice to win a pizza party. Ten runner-up finalists could be voted the fan-favorite winner, who will win the second-place prize of a laptop with Magic 2014—Duels of the Planeswalkers.

You also may recognize a few people starring in the video. Felicia Day from The Guild, Dr. Horrible, and Geek & Sundry stars as Chandra. Kathleen DeVere from LoadingReadyRun fame and Michele Boyd of the group Team Unicorn also make appearances!

A Planeswalker since 1994, Jon spends most of his time at Wizards on the Facebooks, Twitters, and Instagrams. He likes to talk about his sweet collection of Erhnam Djinns from back in the day, but no one in the office cares.
